Tao Ma 80bcaf3469 ocfs2/xattr: Proper hash collision handle in bucket division
In ocfs2/xattr, we must make sure the xattrs which have the same hash value
exist in the same bucket so that the search schema can work. But in the old
implementation, when we want to extend a bucket, we just move half number of
xattrs to the new bucket. This works in most cases, but if we are lucky
enough we will move 2 xattrs into 2 different buckets. This means that an
xattr from the previous bucket cannot be found anymore. This patch fix this
problem by finding the right position during extending the bucket and extend
an empty bucket if needed.

Tao Ma 4c1bbf1ba6 ocfs2: return 0 in page_mkwrite to let VFS retry.
In ocfs2_page_mkwrite, we return -EINVAL when we found the page mapping
isn't updated, and it will cause the user space program get SIGBUS and
exit. The reason is that during race writeable mmap, we will do
unmap_mapping_range in ocfs2_data_downconvert_worker. The good thing is
that if we reuturn 0 in page_mkwrite, VFS will retry fault and then
call page_mkwrite again, so it is safe to return 0 here.

Tejun Heo 8a8bc22332 libata: revert convert-to-block-tagging patches
This patch reverts the following three commits which convert libata to
use block layer tagging.

 43a49cbdf3
 e013e13bf6
 2fca5ccf97

Although using block layer tagging is the right direction, due to the
tight coupling among tag number, data structure allocation and
hardware command slot allocation, libata doesn't work correctly with
the current conversion.

The biggest problem is guaranteeing that tag 0 is always used for
non-NCQ commands.  Due to the way blk-tag is implemented and how SCSI
starts and finishes requests, such guarantee can't be made.  I'm not
sure whether this would actually break any low level driver but it
doesn't look like a good idea to break such assumption given the
frailty of ATA controllers.

So, for the time being, keep using the old dumb in-libata qc
allocation.

Doug Nazar b726e923ea Fix nfsd truncation of readdir results
Commit 8d7c4203 "nfsd: fix failure to set eof in readdir in some
situations" introduced a bug: on a directory in an exported ext3
filesystem with dir_index unset, a READDIR will only return about 250
entries, even if the directory was larger.

Bisected it back to this commit; reverting it fixes the problem.

It turns out that in this case ext3 reads a block at a time, then
returns from readdir, which means we can end up with buf.full==0 but
with more entries in the directory still to be read.  Before 8d7c4203
(but after c002a6c797 "Optimise NFS readdir hack slightly"), this would
cause us to return the READDIR result immediately, but with the eof bit
unset.  That could cause a performance regression (because the client
would need more roundtrips to the server to read the whole directory),
but no loss in correctness, since the cleared eof bit caused the client
to send another readdir.  After 8d7c4203, the setting of the eof bit
made this a correctness problem.

So, move nfserr_eof into the loop and remove the buf.full check so that
we loop until buf.used==0.  The following seems to do the right thing
and reduces the network traffic since we don't return a READDIR result
until the buffer is full.

Tested on an empty directory & large directory; eof is properly sent and
there are no more short buffers.

Miklos Szeredi 6209344f5a net: unix: fix inflight counting bug in garbage collector
Previously I assumed that the receive queues of candidates don't
change during the GC.  This is only half true, nothing can be received
from the queues (see comment in unix_gc()), but buffers could be added
through the other half of the socket pair, which may still have file
descriptors referring to it.

This can result in inc_inflight_move_tail() erronously increasing the
"inflight" counter for a unix socket for which dec_inflight() wasn't
previously called.  This in turn can trigger the "BUG_ON(total_refs <
inflight_refs)" in a later garbage collection run.

Fix this by only manipulating the "inflight" counter for sockets which
are candidates themselves.  Duplicating the file references in
unix_attach_fds() is also needed to prevent a socket becoming a
candidate for GC while the skb that contains it is not yet queued.

Currently, all existing users of cnt32_to_63() are fine since the CPU
architectures where it is used don't do read access reordering, and user
mode preemption is disabled already.  It is nevertheless a good idea to
better elaborate usage requirements wrt preemption, and use an explicit
memory barrier on SMP to avoid different CPUs accessing the counter
value in the wrong order.  On UP a simple compiler barrier is
sufficient.

result of a function returning the pfn corresponding to the next set
bit in a bitmap and the current bit position is modified on each
call.  This leads to "interesting" failures for CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM=y
due to the current behavior of __pfn_to_page(pfn).

Ingo Molnar 7cbaef9c83 sched: optimize sched_clock() a bit
sched_clock() uses cycles_2_ns() needlessly - which is an irq-disabling
variant of __cycles_2_ns().

Most of the time sched_clock() is called with irqs disabled already.
The few places that call it with irqs enabled need to be updated.

Ingo Molnar 0d12cdd5f8 sched: improve sched_clock() performance
in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:

 659567 system_call                              41222.9375
 686796 schedule                                 435.7843
 718382 __switch_to                              665.1685
 823875 switch_mm                                4526.7857
 1883122 native_read_tsc                          55385.9412
 9761990 total                                      2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.
